About

Cariboo Mountains Park is true wilderness, dominated by high, serrated peaks and glaciers. The densely forested valleys feature attractive lakes and lush wetlands. This park is situated in the interior wet belt between Bowron Lake and Wells Gray Parks. These parks now create one continuous protected area in the Cariboo Mountains that is over 760,000 hectares in size. The park incorporates a diverse landscape ranging from mountain peaks and tarn lakes in hanging alpine valleys, to extensive meadows, large wetland complexes, and ancient red-cedar and hemlock forests. These diverse habitats support an equally diverse array of wildlife species. Though current use levels are low, Cariboo Mountains Park offers extensive, though undeveloped, opportunities for backcountry adventures. Vehicle access camping is available at the Ghost Lake Recreation Site. This small, remote site features views down the lake and up into the surrounding mountains, and is adjacent to the scenic Matthew River Falls.
